Transforming the Way We Use Energy

Enhancing Scientific Understanding of Chemical Safety

ACC sponsors the Long-Range Research Initiative (LRI) to promote innovations in chemical safety assessments. It invests in science essential for understanding the impact of chemicals on human health and the environment.

Enabling Cutting-Edge Advancements

Creating Ground-Breaking Medical Innovations

Pharmaceuticals are central to human health and welfare, and 93% of pharmaceuticals sold in the U.S. rely on chlorine chemistry. These medicines and innovations have increased life expectancy by more than 30 years over the past century.

Driving Innovations That Create a Healthier, Safer and More Sustainable Future

In 2014, chemical companies invested $59 billion in research and development to support new innovation, or more than $185 per person in the United States. We invest more to innovate than the electronic, automobile, and healthcare industries.
